"The rabbit ronin Usagi wanders into a new three-part adventure that begins with the unleashing of a never-before-seen threat!

"Truman's 'Cimmeria' story arc comes to an explosive finale and tribal politics come to a head, as the fate of Conan's new lover is decided! Conan learns the truth about why his grandfather stayed in Cimmeria-where the old warrior became a vital member of his adopted village, yet never let go of his daydreams and wanderlust. Brecan seeks to impress his chieftain father and end current clan tensions and disputes, but his 'solution' creates even more problems and puts him at odds with an enraged Conan."
